SALT LAKE CITY, Sept. 9, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- OTCQX: ROIL – Richfield Oil & Gas Company ("Richfield" or "Company") responded today to reports recently circulated in the media regarding pending auction sales of certain properties by describing them as grossly exaggerated and misleading. On September 6, 2013, we tendered the cash sum of $1,303,347.84 as substitute collateral to fully satisfy an outstanding judgment and filed a Motion with the Court to quash the writ of execution. It is expected that this action will immediately stop any further attempts to sell our properties, garnish our assets or otherwise interfere with our operations. "We are glad to get this behind us and focus on the upside of our growing asset base," said Douglas C. Hewitt, Richfield's CEO.
